[DeTomaso] Cam Install and Timing DVD (Pantera Mechanicals General Knowledge for Engine Building)

[Chris Difani]

I bought my copy of the Comp Cams' "How To" thru Summit Racing for $20. The 
demonstration is with a Chevy small block, but the instructor points out 
(numerous times) that he's teaching the theory,  not a specific "how to". 
With their method you can do everything that uses a camshaft. Doesn't matter 
if it's OHV, SOHC, DOHC, or whatever. The theory is the same, the only thing 
that changes is the details for the specific instance, like where to place 
the dial indicator, where to measure the camshaft at, which lobe to measure, 
and so forth.

I believe you can also order it directly from Comp Cams, however my guess is 
that Summit's going to be more reasonable. Especially if you can "add it" to 
a larger order, so that $11 flat shipping rate is "spread around".
